Chatter on one IU site from one IU poster that Duke is now recruiting Flory as a top priority, and after only a week, may even lead.  Says Duke was his dream school. 

"Duke now very much matters in this recruitment."

Just passing on the rumor.  No idea if credible or not.  Maybe someone else here knows more, one way or the other.  

Thought this would have been posted by now:

Top 40 guard Jaeden Mustaf has an official visit to IU today thru Saturday.

6'5" guard who was impressed with JHS's freshman year that led to the NBA.

Nice article with videos from our friend TheDailyHoosier:

I hope y’all have plans to spoil the mothers in your lives. Or, if you are a mom, sit back and relax. Let us take care of you!

Be sure to tell your moms how grateful you are that Mackenzie Mgbako committed to Indiana. 

The Kansas board said he was a lock, then Indiana pulled the Switcheroo and we got him.

They used this graphic.

Funny post from the Kansas board:

Mgbako is Mgbagoing to IU. You can Mgbook it.

Kansas board now using past tense.

Saying MM would not have been an important piece of their team, they didn't really need him, and there will be better wings in the portal anyway.

Ouch.

If Mackenzie hasn't made up his mind, it would be so great if he read that and said it was what convinced him to commit to Indiana.

Just now, from a poster on BTB who has a good reputation.  Take it for what it's worth:

Guys,

I just saw something on social. I guess I will need to delete my account if this doesn’t play out but I am 99.9999% sure it is over.  IU it is. 

always made logic sense and the entire thing I wrote out before seems to have been close to the mark.

Win or lose, this thread is just plain fun.

What an absurd way for us to spend a Friday afternoon.  I love it.

Kenya Hunter is lead recruiter.  Jordan Hulls played in Germany for several years, which is where Eric is from.

In a book I just finished, 1776, there were quite a few sentences that peeved me. 

For example, "George Washington had had a difficult job in building an army"

Had is already past tense. There are very few instances where the use of had had can work. All other uses are annoying and incorrect. 

Punctuate this famous sentence correctly:

"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher"

Just for discussion:  Angel Reese of LSU just got a $126,000 Mercedes-Benz gifted to her.  Her NIL deal overall is $1.4 million. 

The news is all over social media, and I'm sure male basketball players and recruits are seeing it.  Thinking:  if a GIRL gets national fame, drives that ride and makes over $1 million, what do I have to do for the same or better?

btw, her grade point average is 1.9.

I'm not sure what the requirements are, but I remember listening to a radio broadcast many years ago where Al Unser, Jr. was going to drive for some promotion. Glad to see it's still around.

In 1988, Al Unser Jr was supposed to take the Wienermobile for a few easy laps at the Indy Motor Speedway.  Take it slow, wave to the crowd, pose for pictures. 

Instead, he blasted it to a maxed-out 110 miles an hour, just to see what it could do.  That was, and remains, the all-time Wienermobile world speed record.

It is still unknown if he had permission.

He only scored 4 points against us in the NCAA tourney game. Can't judge a guy off of that.

He averaged under 3 points per game last season. 

Seems like we can judge him off that.

The ignore user option is worth it's weight in gold for these 🤡

You'd be amazed how short some threads are with just a few key users blocked.

It's just bliss.  Like having a loud annoying noise suddenly stop, and peace returns to the world.

I booked this, then took it to my bank as instructed.

They were unimpressed.
